Siksukr’s story about his toboggan submarining to the bottom makes me wonder if these toys might have been deemed illegal for safety reasons. Can you imagine getting tangled in the rope and going down to the bottom with it?  If anyone is considering building one of these toys, call Marine Patrol to be sure it allowed on the lake. |
Fascinating movie. My mom still has a ton of old movies of us growing up at the lake. The aquaplane that we had is still up in our loft barn. I would not want to use that ever again. I can't imagine how any of us were never killed. Ours is huge heavy and has metal in it. Now I'm wondering if the old waterskis are on top of it. Probably a raccons nest now, no one has been up in the loft in years.
